Title: Getting a torrent ready/started?
Post by: taperkat on May 03, 2004, 12:15:23 AM

since i finally have cable i have a couple shows that have been converted to CD already that i'd like to host... the first 2 namely are matrix sbds of Something Corporate circa late 2001 - one show being an open mic night at KU in Lawrence.

anyway, how do you host a torrent or get everything ready to do it?

I found the bt.etree.org upload directions (http://bt.etree.org/upload.php) pretty helpful.

BT.Etree.org (http://bt.etree.org) is definitely my favorite tracker, though I use STG (http://www.sharingthegroove.org) for taping unfriendly bands sometimes.

FWIW, I use MakeTorrent 2.0 (http://krypt.dyndns.org:81/torrent/maketorrent/) to build my torrents and ABC (http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/) to seed and d/l.

Apparently, ABC (http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/) has a torrent maker utility in it as well, but I got in the habit of using MakeTorrent 2.0 (http://krypt.dyndns.org:81/torrent/maketorrent/) before I realized it.
